SECTION   .0400  -  AMUSEMENT 
DEVICES 


NORTH  CAROLINA  REGISTER 


825 


.0401   APPLICABILITY 
The  Section  is  applicable  to 
all  amusement  devices  within  the 
scope  of  Article  1 4B  of  Chapter 
95  of  the  General  Statutes. 

.0402   RESPONSIBILITY  FOR 
COMPLIANCE 

Every  owner  or  operator  of  an 
amusement  device  shall  comply 
with  or  affect  compliance  with 
all  provisions  of  the  rules  of 
this  Section,  and  every  employer 
and  employee  shall  comply  with 
all  provisions  which  concern  or 
affect  his  conduct . 

.0403   LOAD  TESTS 

(a)  Test  Required.  Load  tests 
will  not  be  required  on  a 
regular  basis.  The  director 
may,  however,  at  his  discretion 
require  a  load  test  to  be  made 
on  devices  of  the  following 
types : 

( 1  )   devices  having  suspended 
passenger  seats  or  spaces, 

(2)  devices  normally  operated 
at  speeds  or  with  movements 
creating  severe  centrifugal 
forces, 

(3)  devices  so  elevated 

that  ■  structural  failure  is 
likely  to  cause  passengers 
to  be  injured  by  falling,  or 

(4)  devices  which  the 
director  has  ordered  such  a 
test    upon    finding    it 
necessary  to  assure  safety. 

(b)  Evidence  of  Test. 

Unless  a  load  test  is  made  in 
the  presence  of  a  representative 
of  the  director,  the  director 
may  accept  a  certified  copy  of 
such  test  made  by  a  person 
qualified  to  perform  such  tests, 
showing  whether  the  device 
withstood  the  test  without 
failures  in  any  material  respect 
and  setting  forth  such  other 
relevant  information  as  the 
director  nay  require.  Until 
such  a  statement  is  so  filed  it 
shall  be  presumed  that  the 
device  has  not  withstood  the 
test  as  required. 

(c)  Nature  of  Test.  Each 
passenger  seat  or  space  shall  be 
weighted  with  at  least  150 
pounds  dead  weight,  except  that 
in  a  device  intended  only  for 
small  children  each  seat  or 
space  shall  be  weighted  with  at 
least  75  pounds .  V.'hile  so 
loaded  the  device  shall  be  so 
operated  at  maximum  normal  speed 
as  to  test  the  full  operation  or 
all  control  devices,  speed 
limiting  devices,  brakes  and 
other  equipment  provided  for 
safety . 

(d)  Effect  of  Test.   If  the 


device  fails  to  withstand  a  load 
test  it  shall  be  deemed  unsafe 
and  shall  not  be  used  until  and 
unless  it  has  withstood  a 
subsequent  load  test  without 
failure  in  any  material  respect. 
If  the  device  has  withstood  a 
load  test  without  failure  in  any 
material  respect  it  shall  be 
required  to  be  so  tested  again 
only  if  rebuilt  or  modified  or 
if  there  are  reasonable  grounds 
to  believe  that  a  further  test 
is  necessary  to  assure  safety 
and  the  director  orders  such 
test  to  be  made. 

.0404   LOCATION  NOTICES 
No  amusement  device  shall 
be  used  at  any  time  or  location 
unless   prior   notice   has  been

the  amusement  device  presents  an 
imminent  danger,  he  may  attach 
to  such  device  a  notice  warning 
all  persons  against  the  use 
thereof.  Such  notice  shall  not 
be  removed  until  the  device  is

PROGRAM 

.2301   PURPOSE 

The  Inmate  Maternity  Leave 
Program  is  designed  to  provide 
temporary  in-state  leave 
privileges  for  selected  minimum 
custody  inmates  who  give  birth 
to  children  while  committed  to 
the  custody  of  the  North 
Carolina  Department  of 
Correction.  Inmates  will  be 
selected  for  this  program  based 
on  the  potential  benefits  to 
newborn  children  of 
post-delivery  bonding. 

Inmate  Maternity  Leave  will 
be   subject   to   the   following 
restrictions : 

( 1 )  An  inmate  may  take  Inmate 
Maternity  Leave  only  in  the 
home  of  one  of  the  inmate's 
legal  relatives.  The  legal 
relative  in  question  must 
also  be  the  caretaker 
approved  by  the  local 
Department  of  Social  Services 
to  assume  responsibility  for 
the  child  of  the  inmate  when 
the  mother  returns  to  prison. 

(2)  Inmates  who  have  rejected 
or  who  have  been  denied 
postponement  of  sentencing  on 
grounds  of  pregnancy  under 
provisions  of  G.S. 
15A-1353(a)  are  not  eligible. 


(3)  Inmate  Maternity  Leave 
will  begin  no  sooner  than  and 
immediately  after  discharge 
of  mother  and  infant  from 
medical  facilities  at  which 
the  birth  has  occurred. 
Leave  may  be  granted  prior  to 
delivery  only  in 
extraordinary  circumstances. 
For  example,  leave  may  be 
granted  in  cases  where 
inmates  have  arranged  for 
maternity  care  at  their  own 
expense  or  at  the  expense  of 
agencies  other  than  the 
Department  of  Correction. 
Such  arrangements  must  be 
made  in  accordance  with 
Division  of  Prisons  Health 
Care  Policy  710. 

(4)  Inmate  Maternity  Leave 
may  be  awarded  for  as  little 
as   one   day   but   under   no 
circumstances  will  it  exceed 
a  total  of  60  days.
